Miscarriage stories of loss, hope and help. It's always devastating to experience a loss. It can cause you to feel alone, isolated. There's no 'right' way to feel - a range of reactions are possible and normal. In addition to the grief you may feel, your body will be undergoing some profound hormonal adjustments, which may make you feel very emotionally volatile. If you have had a miscarriage, take the time to understand better why these occur and why it is not your fault.

Hypothyroidism Increases the Risk of Miscarriage

Second Trimester Miscarriage Risk is Higher When Hypothyroidism is Undiagnosed Based on findings from a report in the Journal of Medical Screening, doctors are claiming that miscarrriages could be reduced if screening for thyroid problems were a standard part of prenatal testing.

The research, which was conducted by scientists at the Foundation for Blood Research in Scarborough, Maine, demonstrated that pregnant women who are hypothyroid have a second trimester miscarriage risk that is four times the risk of other women.

In the Journal of Medical Screening, the researchers reported that in a study of 9,000 pregnant women, those pregnant women with elevated TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels had a 3.8 percent risk of late miscarriage, compared to only 0.9 percent miscarriage risk in women who were not hypothyroid.

The study attributed six out of every 100 late miscarriages to an undiagnosed hypothyroid condition in the mother.
